Introduction

Packages

NordVPN offers three different packages. Their offers are different in the time subscribed. The cheapest plan offered is now a 3-years plan for 2.99 $/a moth. This is really cheap but once choosen you’re caught in a 3-years plan. But for a sudden change of mind there is still the opportunity to cancel within 30 days and get your money back. The 1-year plan costs 6.99$/a month and is prety good and in the same pricing range as other providers. Nevertheless we recommn 3 years since it’s a good offer and keeps you safe for a long time.

Also NordVPN is a very good choice especially for people looking for a provider with a great price-performance ratio. Their “2-Year plan” with only 3.99$/month is one of the best offers on the market and saves you 72% in contrary to their 1-month plan.
All of their packages are combined with a 30-day money-back guarantee and are the perfect choice for VPN beginners.
We recommend choosing the package that fits your needs the most. If you want to gain the most savings, you should choose the 2-year plan!

Setup

Click on the download button to start your download. After that do the setup by right-clicking on the file and choosing “Run as Administrator”. This will complete the installation and will open it for the first time

After the installation you have to log in with your credentials to use it. Enter your “Username” and “Password” that you obtained from your welcoming email. Also remember to check the box beside “Remember me” so that you will not have to reenter your credentials every time you launch the client software.

Software Settings

Before connecting to NordVPN you should have a look at their settings.

Kill Switch

We recommend setting the kill switch to ON in order to not leak any private data if the connection should close unintendedly

Notfications

We recommend leaving this at ON in order to get remembered that switching servers did work like intended.

Start minimized

We recommend leaving this at OFF in order to be able to see if your VPN connection is enabled right from the start.

System of measurement

This sets the system of measurement of the server distances. Use the metric system that you are used to!

Show Advanced Settings

Click on this to find the advanced settings.

Server List

Set this to ON in order to see the server list

Map

This is personal preferance. We have set it to ON because we like the little map that is shown

Protocol

This is the first real advanced setting. This sets the wether the protocols use TCP or UDP. We recommend leaving it on UDP. There are some cases where this does not work. Set it to TCP if you should encounter any connection problems

Custom DNS

You can set up a default DNS server here if you wish to. The basic user shouldnt need this setting, since NordVPN does have a DNS leak.

Obfuscated Servers

Obfuscated servers should be OFF by default. If you find yourself in a country where the government actively blocks a VPN connection (like China) you should use this option.

How to Cancel NordVPN

The next sections will show you how to cancel your NordVPN subscription or how to use your money-back guarantee.
